Discussion of soft-core fairy porn and Aurora’s amazing spell book.

Left the workshop.

We plan to seek out the wendigos first. In preparation:

• Church of the Eternal Flame - charms that will drive off less powerful blighted creatures. We can each have one on loan - Blight Charm = .5 pounds. If we stay together in a group it will be stronger (~30 feet radius). Aversion effect for blighted creatures.
• We stopped by Spellwright Services, which is owned by a woman named Arlen, so that Ta’an could get a Ring of Protection. (The proprietor thinks Ta’an is very handsome; a lovely shade of green.) Ta’an buys the ring for the sum of 6,000gp. Phaedra, Chimali, and Neci each buy a Blight Charm (600 gp each). Arlen will craft two more for us (for Cedwin and Teagan) if they want them. We asked her about the purple-cloaked, witch-hatted, red-haired person that Cedwin noticed in the workshop. Arlen said she doesn’t know her name, but that she was new to town, rude, and had a bad aura about her that troubled the shopkeeper. Witchhat McBadAura was looking for high-level items - ingredients and things to break high-level enchantments (Wand of Dispelling and ingredients). We ask her about the little cubes we found in the drawer in the workshop, as well as the one behind Genevieve’s house. We now think they are charms to repel wendigos.
• Imogen returned the cubes to Genevieve.
• Ta’an needs time to do stuff, so we decide to go to The Muse in the Coppers. Unfortunately, Chimali sees the town fountain, disrobes, and jumps in. Nude chaos ensues. We make it to The Muse and hear a human bard (Richard) singing Goodman Mason Reid. We paid 2 silver pieces for a gallon of ale (Phaedra pays). We listen to gossip - Cedwin picks up on some burly fellows in the tavern and he gets the feeling that they’re not up to any good. The men go to the back door where the bard left through. Chimali follows them pretending to be drunk to see what they’re up to. Chimali discovers the bard with his instrument broken in half, and the burly men have holes torn through their bodies. The “things” came out of the bard and killed the men. We all leave through the back door and have Tannis lock him up and we summon Mother Boulay and Arlen. Ta’an also returned at this time. Richard says if he sleeps outside he sticks to the ground and has to cut himself loose. He once punched someone and his hand bones seemed to go to the outside and it broke his jaw. Imogen questions Richard about his past, and apparently this started happening after he left Lhesper and Kormul 3 years ago. He says that there were some strange religious folk in Kormul that he and his parents were involved with, but that’s all. Cloaked figures had similar tendrils coming from their chests. We decided to check him for blight. Avard and Amara (wood elves) come from the House of Purification. She casts Ehlonna’s Clarity on Richard, but he’s completely clean of blight. We discuss having the Vultures give him a spit test, but we decide to try and get a test without them knowing, since they would kill him.
• Teagan sings a new guitar into existence for Richard and gets him new strings at Clank and Shank. 75gp (Teagan paid). Shank tells us to go to Orcish Gardens for some teas and other remedies for Richard (though they don’t actually know what’s wrong with him). The Orc’s name is Mal (Malkengar Broganzakk).
• Teagan has two songs to write! Richard wants to do a collaboration for one of them.

Map note: Trees to the north on the Ahevar map are not actually trees. It’s full of boulders.

Next time: hunt down wendigos!
